Tax Reporting

No comprehensive list or test is specified in recent resolutions like CNV General Resolution 1125/2026, which defines virtual assets as "any digital representation of value that can be traded and/or transferred digitally and used for payments or investments," encompassing cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, and stablecoins—but this is for qualified investor net worth calculations, not security classification.[1][2][3][4]. Security tokens may qualify as securities similar to other marketable instruments.[6]. General references suggest ICO tokens could be securities if they meet the definition of "standardised certificated or..." (incomplete in sources), requiring authorization for trading.[9]. VASPs (including those dealing in tokens) must register with the CNV under Law 27,739 to operate legally, with requirements including operational structure details, KYC/AML compliance (e.g., identifying officers), cybersecurity certification, and CNV AML/CFT review; unregistered VASPs cannot operate.[5]. No specific exemptions or issuer registration for tokens-as-securities are detailed; crypto licensing types remain underdeveloped.[7]
